What Is A Facelift and Neck Lift?
Rhytidectomy, also known as a facelift, is a popular surgical procedure designed to improve wrinkles, skin laxity, and other signs of aging around the face and/or neck. At FlowMD Aesthetic Center & Ran Plastic Surgery, Dr. Cong Ivy Ran performs a full range of face and neck surgeries for Los Angeles, CA men and women who want a tighter, more refreshed appearance. Depending on your aesthetic goals, a facelift and neck lift can focus on the lines and wrinkles near the eyes, the cheeks and mid-face, or the bottom two-thirds, including the mouth, jowls, neck, and more, for an all-encompassing youthful look. The specific technique used depends on your desired outcome, the health and condition of your skin, the amount of laxity present, your lifestyle, age, and anatomy. Some men and women may be candidates for a full facelift while others may only need a mid-facelift. Dr. Ran is a highly trained and experienced surgeon who understands the complexity and delicate anatomy of facelift and neck lift surgery. The goal is to produce a natural look that's smooth and appealing.
How Does A Facelift and Neck Lift Work?
In the past, plastic surgeons performed rhytidectomy with a focus on simply lifting the skin; however, those results often looked unnatural and often didn't last long. Dr. Ran performs a facelift like a contouring procedure, treating and repositioning the deep tissue for a more subtle, longer-lasting effect. During your consultation, she'll review the different approaches available before helping you decide which is best for your aesthetic goals. No matter which technique is used, you'll be placed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Depending on the approach, your procedure may take 2 – 6 hours. Following your facelift surgery, you can expect some bruising and swelling for 1 – 2 weeks. The sutures will be removed 7 – 10 days post-procedure. You may have some minor swelling for up to six weeks, but this can be covered with makeup.

FlowMD Aesthetic Center & Ran Plastic Surgery Reviews
Big shoutout to Dr. Ran! She's the real MVP who finally fixed my skin issues. I've seen other dermatologists before, but none could do what she did. Dr. Ran really listens to my needs and knows her stuff, making her someone I trust completely. I've done two treatments and been on meds for months now, and never been so satisfied with my skin. Lucky to have found such an awesome doc!
I had a few consultations with different doctors when deciding on a big procedure and I'm so glad I chose Dr Ran! She does wonderful work and took time making sure I understood everything. I was very comfortable with her expertise and my results have made me incredibly happy! It was a much smoother process than I imagined and I will definitely continue to consult Dr Ran for future procedures.
I recommend plastic surgeon Dr. Ran. From the initial consultation, she was kind and cooperative until the final result. I am still waiting to see the final results and make adjustments...but the doctor, as she said, from the beginning, cares about the patient until the end, trying to help him as much as possible. All love and respect for her."
Great experience! We first had a comprehensive discussion about my concerns and goals. Dr. Ran tailored her treatment recommendation based on this and she throughly discussed the differences between multiple approaches, which helped me better decide which was best for me. I’m super happy with the outcome!
Dr Ran is very professional and she answers your questions into very details. All staffs there are warm and welcoming.
